1) soup
Server : Have you decided?
Woman : Yes, I'd like some soup, please. What's the soup of the day?
Server : Soup of the day? It's chicken vegetable.
Woman : Chicken vegetable? I don't think so. I don't like vegetables very much. I guess I'll have the French onion.
Server : French onion soup? Very good. And would you like something to drink with that?
2) drink
Server : And what would you like to drink with that?
Man : Active Lemon. Large, please.
Server : OK. Would you like to try the new Active Lemon Light? It's got no sugar or caffeine and just one calorie.
Man : Hmm … I tried some the other day. No sugar and no flavor. I'll go with the original one.
Server : One Active Lemon Original. You said large?
Man : Right.
3) toppings
Man : Let's see. Give me a … giant Monster Burger.
Server : One Monster Burger – giant size. And what would you like on that?
Man : Pretty much everything. Ketchup, uh … mustard, onions, lettuce, pickles, and, uh, tomatoes.
Server : Any mushrooms?
Man : Mushrooms? Yeah. They're good for me, right?
Server : How about cheese?
Man : No cheese. I'd better watch the fat.
Server : OK. One giant Monster Burger with everything. Except … no cheese!
Man : Gotta start counting calories somewhere.
Server : Right.
4) salad
Server : And would you like a salad with that?
Woman : Yes, um, the garden salad. Are there tomatoes in that?
Server : Yes ma'am. There are.
Woman : Oh, I don't like tomatoes much. How about in the pasta salad?

1)
Woman : Hey, this is a nice restaurant. Let's eat here.
Man : It is nice, and the food's great. I've eaten here before.
Woman : OK. Let's check out the menu board.
Man : Sure.
Woman : Well, I know what I’m having for dessert. Just look at this picture!
Man : You'll get chocolate, right? You always get chocolate.
Woman : I know, but maybe I'll have vanilla today for something different.
Man : Wow! Vanilla? That's a change.
2)
Man : OK. Now that you've decided on dessert, let's order the real food!
Woman : All right. Hey, look at all the toppings on that. Mushrooms, onions, black olives, green peppers, and extra cheese. It looks great.
Man : Yeah, it looks delicious. I'm going to order one. A big one.
Woman : Can I have a slice of yours?
3)
Woman : Or we could get some of this. It looks really good, too.
Man : It does look good, but I can make it at home now. I'm taking a cooking class at the Asia Center. You know, it's actually pretty easy to make.
Woman : Really? So how do you get the rice to stick together?
Man : Oh, it's the kind of rice. You need to use short-grain rice. It's kind of sticky. You just stick it together with your hands and put a piece of raw fish on it.
Woman : Hmm. It sounds easy enough. Will you teach me sometime?
4)
Woman : Gee, these look good, too. What's in them?
Man : Well, you can get chicken or beef, and they have onions, peppers, and tomatoes in them.
Woman : Maybe I'll try one with beef.
Man : I've had them here before, and they're really spicy. You don't need to put hot sauce, salsa, or anything on them.
Woman : Hmm. I’m not sure I want spicy food. Maybe I'll try them some other day.
5)
Woman : Oh, that looks delicious. Mmm, with some lemon. I think I'll have that. Yep. I've decided.
Man : Gee, maybe I will, too. But I hope there aren't a lot of bones.
Woman : Oh, don't be silly. They'll take the bones out for you, and I’m sure it's fresh from the ocean. It'll taste delicious.
Man : That's true. I guess I will order that. Let's hurry up and order. I'm Starving.
6)
Woman : Oh, and one last thing. With dessert, I’m going to order a whole pot of that! I'll be sleepy after all that food.
Man : And you'll add lots of cream and sugar, right?
Woman : No, no. Just black. I don't want to overdo it!
Man : I know what you mean. Well, are you ready to order?
